As reported by Cosmopolitan, the list ranked Atta in eighth spot with earnings of up to 1.3 million pounds (US$1.59 million) per month. With more than 18.5 million subscribers, the actor and rapper mostly publishes prank videos as well as his own music videos and visits to the houses of Indonesian celebrities.

Purple Moon reportedly compiled these earnings based on the "YouTube money calculator" named Sellfy, which calculates YouTubers' ad revenue based on their views per month combined with the platform's ad payout on average, which can reach 3.29 pounds per 1,000 views. (ran/kes)
